Two absolute heavyweight 80s singers, Bonnie Tyler and Kim Wilde, will perform at the SummerLust Festival in Ħal Għaxaq this May.

Kim Wilde, renowned for hits like Cambodia, You Came, Kids in America and You Keep Me Hangin On, will perform at the Għaxaq Grounds on Friday 15th May.

A week later, on Friday 22nd May, Bonnie Tyler will woo the crowds with some of her classics, which include absolute bangers like Total Eclipse of the Heart, It’s a Heartache and Holding Out for a Hero.

Entry for both concerts is free of charge, although people are encouraged to provide voluntary donations for Dar Bjorn (at the Kim Wilde concert) and Dar is-Sebħ (at the Bonnie Tyler concert). VIP and reserved seating options are also available at www.showshappening.com.

They are the latest big names to perform at the SummerLust festival, with the likes of Anastacia, Gigi D’Alessio, Chris Norman and Umberto Tozzi having played there in previous years.

The concerts are being organised with the aid of Arts Council Malta, Festivals Malta and the Malta Tourism Authority.
